Just in time for Christmas shoppers, Reliant Park will sell another 2,400 pairs of Astrodome seats Wednesday morning through the Reliant Park website, www. reliantpark.com.

The sale begins at 8 a.m. Wednesday and will continue through 8 p.m. Monday while supplies last. Seats will be sold for $200 per pair, with a limit of four pairs per customer.

All seats will be sold "as is," and all sales are final. Seats can be picked up between 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Dec. 17 at Reliant Arena, and purchasers are responsible for loading the seats, which are 44 by 32 by 17 inches in size and weigh about 50 pounds per pair.

This is the second distribution of Astrodome seats in the wake of the Astrodome "yard sale" in November that drew thousands of fans, some of whom stood in line for as long as 10 hours or more.

A Reliant Park spokeswoman said she did not know if this would be the final distribution of seats from the Dome. Proceeds will go toward cleanup of the Astrodome site.
